Are You Fun?

Having fun seems like a basic thing to do. Not even a skill really, just something that should happen naturally. So what does the bible say about it? What would your students say about it? As you became an adult, is there a chance you forgot how to have fun along the way? Having fun and enjoying life is essential to carrying influence. This week Dustin Wells and Josh Baldwin talk about why.

The Art of Raising the Bar

In this podcast, we explore the notion that students are capable of more than we often give them credit for. By challenging them to reach higher standards and pushing them to do hard things, we can help them strengthen their faith and achieve more than they see in themselves. Join us as we discuss practical strategies and mindset shifts to support students in reaching their full potential. Remember leaders, for our students to get stronger, their leader has to be getting stronger first.

Give Them the Keys

Sometimes it’s important for you to be the drivers seat, and other times you need to give away the keys so someone else can learn to drive. This episode helps you determine when the time is right to give them away!
